[Dragaera] Some speculation on Spellbreaker

I want to say that it was Sethra who told Vlad about the legend/prophecy 
that Godslayer would kill Verra, but my memory's a bit hazy.

I like to think of it as a "legend" as opposed to a "prophecy", sort of like 
how Ragnarok is ostensibly a prophecy but it's really a complete 
mythological construction that relates the end of the world and the 
establishment of the new world that's created in its wake. The Norse knew in 
great detail how everything ends, but they lived their lives as if that 
didn't matter or even as if playing their part in the final conflict gave 
them a reason to live life to the fullest.

With all of the mucking about in time and space by the Gods, (I've noted 
before my theory that one reason the Lords of Judgement are always checking 
the Cycle is that they don't actually have a solid reference for the current 
time in the Empire otherwise) I find it amusing to think of Verra's end like 
that of Asgard - It happens at some indeterminate future time, but those in 
the know treat it as if it's already happened or it's an inevitable fact of 
life. The implications by the Seroli that Godslayer is broken up in the 
future and somehow reassembled in the past is just another piece in the 
puzzle.

I guess that wandered rather far afield of the original question...
